Summer Camp Program

The Summer Camp Program strives to reduce summer learning loss and helps to prepare children for the next school year. Summer camps generally include a wide variety of programming and hands-on S.T.E.A.M. learning activities, in addition to experiential trips and guest speakers.

The Jacksonville Children's Commission (JCC) works with a large group of non-profit providers, to provide summer camp opportunities for low-income and special needs children in Duval County.

Parents must provide copies of documentation to the camp upon registration.

Camp Registration

Registration for all camps will be conducted by each individual location. Parents/caregivers interested in enrolling their child in camp this summer should contact the camps directly to learn more about how and when to register their child. The Children’s Commission does not have this information or facilitate this process.

Hours & Days of Operation

Camps will be provided by various youth-serving non-profit organizations in five to eight week-long sessions, operating Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. However, Super Academy sites will operate from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Camps will run between June 9th and August 8th, but specific dates may vary for specific locations.

Parent Fees

The total amount a camp can charge a parent for registration fees, enrollment fees, parent fees, weekly fees and any other types of fees, regardless of the name (excluding experience trips or extended day) cannot exceed $10 per week for the duration of the summer camp contract. This fee may be less than $10 per week, but may not be more.
